A closed rectangular box with a sqaure

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  4 inches on each edge of the cube

Step-by-step explanation:

A closed box will have minimum area when it is a cube. For a volume of 64 in^3, the edge length must be ∛64 = 4 inches.

_____

Using derivatives, the base edge length can be defined as x, and the surface area as ...

  S = 2x^2 + 4x(64/x^2)

This is minimized when dS/dx = 0:

  dS/dx =- 4x -256/x^2 = 0

  x^3 = 64

  x = ∛64 = 4 . . . . . should look familiar

If the perimeter of the adult pinball machine is 172 inches, what is the length, in inches of G’A’?
quester [9]
If you have ever seen a pinball machine, you would know that it is shaped like a rectangular box. Since a rectangle has two sets of equal parallel lines, then you would have to know the length and the width. Its perimeter is equal to the total length of all sides. Thus, the equation is 2L + 2W = 172 inches. However, since there is no other data other than the perimeter, I can't give a definite numerical answer. The only answer I could give is in variables. Thus, the length of the pinball machine is

2L = 172 - 2W

L= 86 - W
